12:40 Today we were invited to attend akira’s language school graduation in hibiya. there was a nice park just outside the hll, which was quickly flooded by thousands of screaming female students. while it is understandable they haven’t seen each other for a couple of months over the holidays, it really did sound like they had just seen a dead body — screams of terror rather than excitement.

of course, if ds had it his way and climbed some dodgy tree to take a photo, the screams might have really been of terror..

14:01 there sure are a few characters amongst the students that go out of their way to look stupid when its their turn to go up on the stage. ds said this one non-jp teacher looked strange, and that was confirmed when it was her turn to announce her studens names.. she fscking yelles her lungs out >.>

i didn’t mention that we saw a “big camera”, one of the huge electronic chain stores, running the release event of ffxii. and what else would sell better than giant towers of thos potion drinks — available in packs of 6 or individually, bundled with the game itself. i’ve started to wonder if mybe ps2s can detect their presence nearby and reward you by healing your characters. now that would own ;p

Today the guy we were staying with had to go to his school, so we ended up going around akihabara for the whole day. The camera i first wanted to buy (sony n1) wasn’t being sold anywhere so i ended up getting the casio s600. its fecking small and i’m still kind of getting used to that size difference, but its nice to use. lots of pictures in the gallery

今日は一緒に住んでいるまおくんが大学に行かなければならなくなったので、一日中ゆっくり二人で秋葉原を回ってた。最初に買いたかったデジカメのソニーN1が全く売ってないようでやっとカシオS600を買ってきた。すっごく小さくて、まだなれていないけど。おかげさまで写真をいっぱい撮れた。

A lot has happened which might not reach this blog at the moment… days are just way too short to go travelling then recount the whole day before you forget and fall asleep in a nice and cosy futon! i guess i’ll just spam as much as i can recall before it leaves my head.

the bath is ownage. i’m not sure if i said this already, but being fully heat controlled at 41 degrees, it really does feel good to just relax in there for 10-20 minutes at a time. a very nice way to end the night.

god damn uploading pictures is slow at 5megapixels :/ so i made it smaller.
やっぱり５００万ピクで取った写真をアップすると遅いだろうね。。なのでちょっと小さくしてみた。

so we are in japan, with a small pc setup on an unknown speed internet connection. the temperature is.. coool and refreshing, although ds says he is going to freeze
今は日本で知らない早さのネットで一つのPC(pbook)が繋がってる。天気は涼しいというか、DSが凍られるほど寒いです^^;

as we left the airport with mao and akira our guides, we headed to the JR line, and went a couple of stations before being informed there had been an accident *cough* suicide on the train line. so we had to swap trains. in the process, we met up with two other gaijins who were fecking lost, and spend 30-60 minutes helping them get to their separate destinations.

a trip to akihabara is planned for tonight to get some cameras and stuffs. transportation from our home base is a bit tedious – about a 30 minute walk to the train station, or 10minutes + a 160yen bus which isn’t too bad i guess. i’m betting it will be a whole lot easier without the 15kg of luggage trailing behind :/

no updates on the laptops yet.
